Although Google initially only distributed early pairs to
developers, it
opened up a competition to the plebeians so that some members
of the general public can buy a pair. There's no free ride —
winners still have to shell out $1,500.

The
contest, which has closed, asked people to explain how they
would use Google Glass in 50 words or less on Twitter or, of
course, Google+ with the hashtag #IfIHadGlass.

Google already pools its consumer data from Gmail,
searches, YouTube,
and Google+ to improve its target advertising. So it's pretty
insane to imagine how personalized ads could get if advertisers
had the ability to track everything a person is seeing.

While we're sure other advertisers are trying to nab a pair, kbs+
is the only one we know about that created a micro-site entirely
dedicated to sweetening up its bid for a pair.

Here's Brojerdi's video begging Google for a pair:

she can own at karaoke:
